K. II. AULL, liUITOK.
Entered at the Fostofliee at Newberry,
S. C., as 2nd elass matter.
Friday, A|?ri! 10. H)08.
AS TO ROADS.
We publish in :in?itlici* column an
ai l iflr I'roui Dr. .Ino. .1. Dominick, of
Prosperity, <>11 the subject of public
roads. 'This is a very important question
ami Dr. Dominick makes soma
auosl excellent suuyest ions in his article.
Kverybody recoyniy.es thai our ,
public highways arc in a most deplorable
condition. Kverybody ad- '
suits thai we need and ouulit to have
1
belter roads. Kverybody will admit
the advantages of belter roads as
Staled by Dr. Ibnuinick.
'I here can be no object ion I < a <Tis- i
cussioit ?11* the question in i in- cam-p
"t?ai _!ii (Iui'inir the cnmiu.tr summer, but |
jl is imi a i|iiesliou |ur the members |
of ilu- legislature so iniu-li as il is a
question I'di' the people themselves.
il is true, as Dr. Domiuick slates, |
that we need a belter system for lha 1 ]
working and maintenance ol" the, !<
public roads, but until the, people I
iirst are willing to be taxed for their j
.support, systems and laws will j
amount to very little. | (
It is true that if (he people desira I
and want heller roads they must I
jnake up their minds to ]>ay for them
and when they do this, of courso
there should' be a change in our system
because the old plan of warning
out iiaiufs and working or pretending :
to work for six days during the year l
will never jiivc u> auv improvement j
in our public liitrhws<n*.
flu- legislature passed a spc? ial acl
for Nrrt b?-rry counts at the session
of I'.in,- ihe bill ol Mr. Allan Joliui
stone which }iive> lo llie people of ,
dewberry county the riylil lo levy a
spuriaI tax of one mill for the pur- i
Int>e of assisting in llir improvement
of t he roads. This tax can either he
levied a> a couulv tax or by town-11
ships. i'here seems lo >ie no spcrvn
desire upon llie part of Ihe people loi.
levy this lax. !
The method su.ir.yest e?l by Dr. Doin-j
inick for the improvement of .-oa<Ts
has some \ ciw yood features and we
would be tjlad I" have oilier discussion
and suy.yestions, but in order to
carry out any system or method the
people must make up their minds l-t
provide llie means.
I f we could yet a few miles oP yood
roa*T built somewhere in the county
so (hat the people lniylit see in a
practical way the advantage- of yood j
loads, we believe that they would j
then lie aroused lo the importance of j
Ihe subject and be convinced that a {
lax for road building would be an
investment which would pay laryer
dividends than any orwer invesimenl
which Ihe people could make. Discussion
can do no harm and we will be
.triad to have il either in the newspap.-is
or on the slump or both.
ENFORCING DISCIPLINE.
It is neces-arv, of course, lhal the j
student- of our institutions of learn-j
in1.:', should understand lhal they I
muM be obedient and conloim to tliej
rules amf rcyulalions of these insli- j
tuti-.'iis. In other words the men i
who are in char:.' of them i!iu<l run
tin institution and not ihe students.The
incident at < lcm>ou is nulor-|
lunate but il should teach the youuy i
men lhal they must observe the rules!
of the college. We are inclined lo !
think, however, and we have read ill- |
most every thiny that has been printed
and our opinion is based upon the
reports we have seen, lhal the punishment
in this case is rather severe.
If ihe youuy men had been resirained
of their liberty or suspended or otli- !
erwise punished, we are inclined to i
think that the same results mitrht
have been obtained.
fhe dismissal of llrese younjy me.. I
may mean a ureal deal in the mat- j
tor of llieir education. We are triad I
to notice, however, that u inlet) the I
rules of the college these youuy men j
imay be accepted al other institutions
and the lesson wtiieh they .not
from this incident at Clemson may j
be of value to them. "We u>.\? j
some days ayo thai the president of i
Ihe board had requested Ihe preside)!' I
of another colleyc no| to admit anv I
of the boys who were dismissed at
Clemson. 'I'llis must have been a
mistake inasmuch as the report from
"Clemson stales that these hoys way
be received by other colleges.
It is well and proper to enforce discipline
but there is danger of troilij?
too far.
